The Ravens announced the signing of nine players to reserve-future deals on Monday including quarterback Keith Wenning.
After being drafted in the sixth-round of last May’s draft, Wenning was waived by the Ravens at the end of the preseason before being signed to the practice squad. The Ball State product is a candidate to become the No. 2 quarterback behind Joe Flacco with veteran backup Tyrod Taylor scheduled to become a free agent.
The 6-foot-3, 222-pound Wenning completed 10 of 17 passes for 140 yards in the 2014 preseason.
Baltimore also signed quarterback Bryn Renner, defensive backs Victor Hampton and Quinton Pointer, offensive tackle Marcel Jones, tight ends Allen Reisner and Konrad Reuland, fullback Kiero Small, and defensive end Zach Thompson to reserve-future deals, which allow players to take part in offseason activities and count against the 90-man offseason roster.
Small went to Cardinal Gibbons and finished the 2014 season on the Ravens’ practice squad after he played in three games for the Cleveland Browns. Pointer, Jones, Reisner, Reuland, and Thompson also spent time on the Baltimore practice squad this season.

Right Now in Baltimore
The Ravens go on the clock with Pick 14 and then move to 'Super Bowl' time
The purple land of hopes and expectations begins on Thursday night with the NFL Draft. Luke Jones and Nestor get you ready for a myriad of draft possibilities and outcomes for Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore Ravens under rookie head coach Jesse Minter. We'll be picking and opining all weekend as spring hopes remain eternal in Owings Mills.
When will the frozen Orioles bats thaw this spring?
Sure, it's not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds' struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.
Who can Orioles really count on to "pitch" in as innings add up?
Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.
